Granny Smith Cinnamon Muffins (Gluten Free Nut Free)



Gluten free baking can sometimes feel like a guessing game!  Sometimes I try substituting gluten free ingredients into a regular recipe and it just doesn't work. But sometimes it does!   

David Venable from QVC shared a great muffin recipe, and it was so easy to make it gluten free just by substituting in gluten free flour! And the muffins turned out so yummy!! 

Here's the recipe:
  • 3 cups all-purpose gluten free flour (I use Betty Crocker GF Rice Flour Blend)
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cups milk
  • 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and grated

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin pan. 

  • Mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir with spoon till combined.

  •  Add the oil, eggs, and milk. With a hand mixer beat till combined, but don't over mix. 

  • Pour in the apples and stir them in gently with a spoon.  

  • Spoon the batter into muffin pan.

     Sprinkle just a little more cinnamon on each muffin before cooking.

     Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cupcakes are set.

Breakfast Casserole (Gluten Free Nut Free)

I love breakfast casserole. It is my favorite breakfast dish ever. But every time I tried to make it myself, I never could get it quite right. That was until my cousin shared her breakfast casserole recipe with me. It's delicious! Here's the recipe GF! 4 slices of Udi's GF white sandwich bread   1 lb GF bulk sausage, browned and broken up  (I use Ingles Markets Gluten Free Italian Bulk Sausage) 1 cup shredded cheese 6 eggs 2 cups milk Tear bread into pieces and place in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle cooked sausage over bread. Sprinkle grated cheese over sausage. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Pour over bread, sausage, and cheese. Refrigerate. You could refrigerate overnight and cook for breakfast. I have also put this together in the morning, refrigerated it all day and cooked it for supper.  Cook for 1 hr @350. (I usually cook it about 5 minutes longer, just keep an eye on it till it's done) Enjoy!
